Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during rabi, 2017-2018 on clay soils of Agricultural College Farm, Bapatla to find out the effect of seed rates on yield, quality and sulphur uptake of mustard genotypes in rice fallows. Mustard experiment was conducted with four seed rates (S1:6 kg ha-1, S2:8 kg ha-1, S3:10 kg ha-1 and S4:12 kg ha-1) and three varieties (V1: NPJ-112, V2: PM-28, V3: Pusa bold) and laid out in factorial randomized block design and replicated thrice. Experimental results revealed that significantly highest seed yield (650 kg ha-1) was recorded in seed rate 12 kg ha-1 followed by 10 kg ha-1, 8 kg ha-1and 6 kg ha-1. Among varieties PM-28 significantly recorded highest seed yield (665 kg ha-1) followed by NPJ-112 and Pusabold. Oil content was found non-significant for seed rates and varieties. The highest oil yield of 200 kg ha-1 was recorded with 12 kg seed rate ha-1 and of 205 kg ha-1 was registered byvariety PM-28. The highest sulphur uptake in seed and stalk (8.68 and 4.75 kg ha-1) of mustard was recorded at a planting density of 12 kg seedrate ha-1. Among varieties highest sulphur uptake in seed (8.58 kg ha-1) and stalk (5.33 kg ha-1) was recorded with the variety PM-28. The interaction between seed rates and varieties was found not significant for seed yield, oil content and sulphur uptake of rice fallow mustard.
